Two New Small Fires Releases


















Live, From the Delay is a beautiful, collaged poem by Ryan Flaherty. The book is designed to be read like a standard codex (with fold down accordions) or folded out and read as a wall hanging (as shown above).

Letterpressed on cotton/abaca textweight sheets, with covers comprised of Alabama Kozo, Abaca, Cotton, Flax, and Linen. Limited edition of 65.

50 Dollars


From the author's process: "Rather than composed, the poem was constucted from several years' worth of notes, which were either written for this poem or were pieces that fell off other poems. Over a month long period, I cobbled these fragments together on 3 X 6 sheets of paper tacked to an unused door propped up in my attic."




Abandoned Tales is a collection of screwy, perverted, beautiful folk tales by Michael Lee.

A single pamphlet letterpressed on entirely on three different handmade papers made by Small Fires Press.

Illustrations by Cherie Weaver.

Edition of 65.

45 Dollars.





Please make your purchases now!

Thanks.

John Gallaher's Guidebook, from Blue Hour Press



This is BHP's first post to PPP. Feels real nice. Now for the chap info:

Our fifth release came out today, and we're proud of it: Guidebook, by John Gallaher.

With Guidebook, John Gallaher invents an idiosyncratic mythology of small town America in which driveways yield to carnivals, interstates wind their ways to to the edges of cliffs, and circuses erect themselves in backyards. Gallaher lights homes with refrigerators, clouds forecasts, and signs divorce decrees, puppeteering the lives of a gargantuan everyperson cast as he explores equal amounts of wishes and disappointments. Reading like a novelization of a Fellini film by Sherwood Anderson, Guidebook mixes genres, dizzies itself in language, politely makes meta, and affirms Gallaher as one of the most perceptive, poignant, and surreal minds participating in America's contemporary literature.

Read it, and if you like it, pass it on to friend and foe alike. We appreciate your support.

More to come,
Justin

Two New Greying Ghost Chapbooks!

2, two, to, too, dos new books from the Greying Ghost!

Zachary Schomburg - The Pond

"We've all lived near a pond at some point. We've all stuck a finger in its surface and wondered what the hell was under there. Perhaps after an accident the pond gets drained and gaggles of neighborhood kids then find their bikes and balls and other bits of tossed ephemera. The Pond is like a catalog of all that: of yesterdays both dreamt and recollected with clarity.

The Pond will also be published as the final section to his forthcoming full-length book, Scare, No Scary published by Black Ocean

5x7 chapbook printed on high quality paper with color end-papers.

Thomas Hummel - Stands As Mediation

"A cyclical translation of Gertrude Stein's Stanzas In Meditation, Thomas Hummel, through his mad experiments, had produced ten poems that refuse to pay rent. They squat in the abandoned factories and the houses of its workers and stand in front of the windows with the lights on. And though you're not quite sure if they're laughing at or with you, the fact they are laughing is reason enough to befriend them. Roll over Gertrude and wake her up."

Ringing, by Rauan Klassnik

I'm very pleased to announce Kitchen Press' first ever venture into online publishing, Ringing, by Rauan Klassnik.

Click this post for a downloadable pdf of Ringing, as well as a flash version illustrated Rauan himself. There is also a section for comments. We encourage you to not only comment and discuss the poems and collection as a whole, but the site itself--everything from thoughts on the experience of reading the chap in the format it's in to more technical concerns about the functionality of the site, problems viewing it, navigability, etc.


From the book:

Like ships leaning together licking each other’s shoulders, we fall down and dig at the earth. Fervently. Like jackals. Fire’s leaping from hill to hill, and my nerves are swaying like seaweed. I have learned to die. And not to. My veins are filled with milk 11

All Best,

I, NE: Iterations of the Junco




New Book Available Through Small Fires Press!


I, NE: Iterations of the Junco is a collaboration between John Chavez, Megan Gannon, Rachel May, and Joshua Ware. Illustrations by Meaghan Perry.

Letterpress-printed on 18 file cards in a handmade paper slipcase. Edition of 100.

$75.00

From the Author's Note on the Process:

We begin with the line, “Juncos hollow white noise limbs dreaming through the ice,” then we augment and erase. We cross-pollinate. We become through nonce form, arbitrary delimiting, & spatial re-orientation.

Of becoming, or more particularly, of becoming-imperceptible, Deleuze and Guattari write: “the truth [is] that all becomings are molecular. The molecular has the capacity to make the elementary communicate with the cosmic: precisely because it effects a dissolution of form that…guarantees a continuum by stretching variation far beyond its formal limits.”

The becoming-imperceptible of the collaborative process helps us follow a line of flight where: “We are no longer ourselves, [where] we have been aided, inspired, multiplied.”

God, Sebastian, Amy by Ana Božičević





Flying Guillotine Press announces Ana Božičević's new chapbook God, Sebastian, Amy!


Cittadino in Campagna di New Jersey


The green by itself didn't mean anything;
it needed shapes to inform it.

The long hope of the long hill—
the incline spoke, the hill didn't.

On the burnt dog-grass, at the foot of the V tree
its shadow drew an X. —Me, a denominator?

—No, you were the line in tree's fraction:
one present point where bird-life in the crown

divided by death on the grass, equaled a soul…
The hill curved, now in starlight.

There was a sensation of falling. And how the hill changed.
—& the length of hope? —Didn't. Only the soul—

The soul was painted over and over, like an outlet.



God, Sebastian, Amy is a 28 page, hand stitched book of poems printed in an edition of 74. There are three different covers with photographs by Shannon Davies and Tony Mancus. They are bound with red string!

$8 includes shipping.

If you'd like a copy, please visit Flying Guillotine Press.

PS--Look for Flying Guillotine at AWP. We'll be the ones wearing shirts. And pants, most likely.

Linnea Ogden's Another Limit

In “Another Limit," Linnea Ogden maps a skeptic's fugitive geography of the imagination. In poems with titles like “Submerged Lands Act,” this poet continuously draws and redraws the jurisdiction of her literary consciousness, always seeking “the answer to this particular border / dispute” in poems of considerable formal grace and emotional honesty. — Srikanth Reddy

Linnea Ogden explores boundaries both thematically and in her syntax. But most amazing: she makes legal language sing. — Rosmarie Waldrop
